We stayed here with our camper through the Good Sam stays in the property was beautiful! We visited the winery and ordered some snacks and the food was absolutely delicious! Barb was awesome and was so sweet to our two year-old son! Definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Slattery Vintage Estates - View of our RV parked on their property after a storm. Beautiful! - Wineries Near Me - Nehawka, Nebraska

I went over summer and the pizza was AMAZING 10/10. The service was really good as well even on a busy day we got our drinks super quickly and same with the food. The aura of this fine establishment was pretty fricking epic. the brown hair chick with pink stripe was a top 10 most helpful people oat. read more

My daughter had her wedding at Slattery's (SVE) and all I can say is Barb and all her staff are amazing. Barb helped us put on the most beautiful wedding and we can't thank them all enough. We had access to the party house for getting ready and the whole wedding party was able to stay in the glamping cabins and party house the night of the wedding! We had a private patio reserved for rehearsal dinner and wood fired pizza, salad and drinks. Band playing in the background and it was so intimate and relaxing, all the wedding party said it couldn't have been any better. On the wedding day, all the staff were outstanding. The bartender Jana went above and beyond on the wedding day. We just had an overall great experience! We highly recommend!! We couldn't have picked a better venue! Thank you Barb and staff again! read more

We really enjoyed an "end of summer" evening here, with excellent live music by Adam Lee. The setting is gorgeous, and they serve simple, delicious fare, including wood fired pizza made to order and pork sandwiches. I had heard of glamping, but wasn't totally clear on the concept until passing by the bungalows with four poster beds and such. Don't be surprised if you see a review about that sometime. My wife digs that sort of thing. My wife is the wine aficionado, but I enjoyed the white wine she bought, called Brianna. It's from James Arthur Vineyards a bit north of Lincoln. All in all, a great end to a great Nebraska summer season. read more

Went there for Mother's Day Brunch today. Place is clean, people very friendly the cold food buffet is outstanding, fresh fruit, home made breads, and sticky bun cinnamon rolls (I didn't get one they ran out) but I got a bite of my wife's and it was excellent. The hot food buffet is fairly good, biscuits & gravy a little better than average, the breakfast casseroles average, the sausage and the ham good. My only complaint would be that the paper plates are like 7 inch desert plates so you are pretty limited on what you get particularly if you get biscuits and gravy that take up almost all your plate. We would go back read more

This place is fantastic. Hidden away down a dirt road, it's a beautiful estate with indoor and outdoor seating, multiple outdoor bars overlooking the vineyard, spots for music and a wood fire pizza oven. The wine and beer selection is diverse with both local and non-local options. For those who are interested, they also have huts for glamping with a reservation. I would highly recommend this Vineyard for those wanting to relax and enjoy the outdoors with a glass or two of wine. We will be back! read more

You didn't think you were being "that rude"? As a business owner you shouldn't be rude at all to your customers.

Know what you are booking people. I read all these reviews before booking my reservation welllll in advance. I knew it was basically camping with Ac and heat. That's it. This is not a full service hotel, people. This is a FAMILY who owns a vineyard that serves food and wine and allows you to enjoy it with a campfire and more wine at night. This isn't where you come if you are going to want someone to wait on your hand and foot. The reviews I read that are bad seem to be from people who are used to large hotel chains and not glamping. My best friend and I had a great time. We had some amazing wood fire pizza made by the owners daughter, who is the chef, we had wine poured by Barb, the owner and then we hung out at night under twinkle lights with other campers and enjoyed more wine and went to sleep. We woke up and then had the chef make us a beautiful breakfast while we sipped coffee in front of a pond on a vineyard. It's where you go to unwind from life. Everything was clean, everyone was respectful and we totally enjoyed our stay. There are only 4 bungalows and then a suite you can rent out for larger parties like bachelorette or girls weekend with multiple people so it does fill up quickly. read more

Not doing this place again...ever. They have slipped. Costs going up but they maintain low price. Quality and flavors missed the mark. Food was worse than a bunch of flavorless unsalted no spice nor herb church casseroles. Over priced low quality wines and beers. One hour to wolf down a drink and make trip to buffet lines. Most disappointing was the raw in the middle sticky buns--not the sign of a real chef. More like a step below an inexperienced bar cook. They have no onsite crafted estate wines? Better vineyard experiences in Iowa and near Omaha and Lincoln. read more

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Heritage Hall this past September and we were blown away. The venue is gorgeous. Barb and Sarah did such a great job working with us to make our day perfect. Everything was set up perfectly when we arrived, despite rain earlier in the day, a parking attendant helped folks park, plenty of bartenders, the food was awesome, I can't say enough good things. We STILL are getting compliments on the wine we had. I highly recommend renting the glamping tents as well and doing a brunch the day after. We felt so special, pampered, and attended to. We also highly recommend doing a boozy hay rack ride before! Only thing to remember is there's little to no cell reception, so download the playlist before hand ;) Also, make sure to say hello to Ferguson their dog for us! He was an added bonus and made us smile. read more

This is the first time I had ever heard the magical words, glamour camping. Give me a tent with a full sized bed, electricity and furniture and I am totally down for some camping! And Slattery Vintage Estates does it WELL. I don't even know where to start! We got settled into our little tent. There is a room behind them all to use the restroom. There is also a little patio with chairs to sit and read or write. A dresser and a little table. After some time in our bungalow, the Whiperpool, we checked out the rest of the property. Between the main house, where the wine and food are, and the tents, are rows of grapes (no house wine yet, at least not when we were there), lots of places to walk around, beautiful landscaping, a little pond, a cute little dog named Alfred. We went on a night that they had entertainment (so glad we planned it that way), music by Deja Blue, and after a little wine tasting, purchased a glass and a shrimp, alfredo, garlic wood grilled pizza and listened to the music. There were several people their (some who were not staying) enjoying wine and the music and as the night wound down, we made our way back to our little tent. I will say the majority of guests were older or couples but my friend and I still had a good time just hanging out and relaxing. We never really felt out of place. I kind of felt privileged that I got to go to my tent while others had to leave. It was very quiet for the most part. Even when we were in our tent and music was going on. We were far enough away it wasn't bothersome but not too far away, that we dreaded walking or felt unsafe. The next morning you have the option of enjoying breakfast or not, which you pay for when you book your room. DO THIS! The in house chef, Sarah, prepared the most wonderful spread. The first round was strawberry yogurt with granola. Second round included a quiche and french toast stuffed with cream cheese and orange marmalade or something. With a fresh flower to boot! And if that wasn't enough, we were also treated to apple turnovers. The presentation was gorgeous. We sat together with a few other guests and got to know each other. It was fantastic!! Man, writing this review makes me want to go back so bad! And I'm since married. This would be a great way to relax with a spouse as well. read more

This is a nice little get away from the bustle and hustle. Very much worth the short drive out to the country side. A fabulous little place for a bottle, snack, and walk in the fields. read more

We had an enjoyable time staying the night in bungalow # 4. The bed was comfortable enough though a little noisy when moving around. It sure beats sleeping on an air mattress. The bungalows come complete with a lamp, dresser, fan, coffee maker, electrical outlets, a small table, and chairs. On the front porch, there were two adirondack chairs. It's nice that the tents are raised off the ground so as to avoid any brushes with varmints. The margherita pizza was good but far from the best I've ever had. Maybe slightly overpriced at $15 but enjoyable nonetheless. We also had the chips and queso and salsa. Both the queso and salsa were good but the chips were from a bag. I'm not the biggest wine fan but my wife and her friend are so they split three bottles from what looked like a fairly impressive list of local wines. I enjoyed the selection of beers on tap. As a result of the liquor license, no outside alcohol is allowed. No worries though as they allow you to purchase bottles of wine or six packs of beer to take back to your bungalow. All-in-all, this is an enjoyable place for a change of pace. I recommend it for anybody that enjoys camping or likes to spend an evening outside. read more

We spent one of the most pleasant evenings here last weekend. The service was great. Everyone treated us well. The music was very good (Sandy Creek Bluegrass Band). The food was good. Prices were much less than downtown Lincoln. Best of all was the setting. This place is magical. When you turn the corner and head into the valley, it is like driving into an old European estate. Very nice. You are seated on an embankment that blocks the western sun but gives a good view of the band and the beautiful valley. This place is 30 miles from Lincoln but very much worth the drive. read more

SVE is located in some beautiful country. We had our wedding there this year. Our wedding was beautiful because my husband and I had an amazing amount of support and quick thinking family members, as well as our own motivation to have a largely DIY wedding. If this is your style, this might be a good fit for you to hold an event with them. Some of my personal tips for being successful with this venue: Ensure your contract is solid and in writing before a deposit is paid and make sure you know in advance about all the extra charges, as there are some involved (such as renting water glasses from them, parking attendant, etc.) If you're on a set budget make sure and be open about that. They might try and work with you. Set up and clean up were not included in the rental fee, which is currently at $2500. You could pay extra for their staff to do it for you. What was included for us were some special arrangements to use their kitchen, a ceremony area (that we also had to set up ourselves to avoid extra charges), and use of the banquet hall. We also got linens included. I would not recommend use of their linens, bring in your own if at all possible. Ours were left in the corner of the banquet hall wrinkled and had bugs and stains on them, which thankfully my family members were able to cover up with decorations. SVE has a discount relationship with a reputable vendor in Omaha, so please consider using them. The vineyard itself will remain open for business, which was very clearly communicated to us and is totally understandable- consider bringing your own signage to delineate where your event is happening to prevent interruptions by their staff directing customers. All guests of SVE were respectful and friendly to us and our wedding party. They do have an in house system for music for those who don't want to bring a DJ or band- it was non-functional the night of our wedding. Thankfully we had speakers and laptops from the ceremony so we got those down for the reception. The staff was not able to help us solve the music problem. The family that owns the vineyard have several domestic animals that live there, because the vineyard is also their home. You'll want to discuss your willingness to have them around your event/children and address any potential safety issues with that. They were open to talking to us about that, which was really nice of them- unfortunately a child at our ceremony ended up getting bit by one of the dogs. Not a serious injury, just startling for her. Check and make sure you know their event schedule for the day following yours- a wedding was scheduled to begin less than 12 hours after we were told we needed to be out of the facility which made for a little bit of a time crunch for us/our helpers, but just required some good coordination on our parts to get it done. You will need a lot of willing friends and family to help you! Additionally, arrange payment for the bar bill (If this will be part of your event) ahead of time and make sure it is itemized and presented before you authorize any charges or any charges are made on your behalf. I used email to communicate everything about the event with Mrs. Slattery so that I could easily refer back to the agreements about the day. Good practice for event planning anyway. Like I said, the vineyard is really built in a beautiful location and our pictures turned out gorgeous! Feel free to contact me for vendors in the area that will travel to SVE if that's where you end up for your event! read more

My husband and I stayed with another couple in the house on vineyard property this past Sun/Mon. The glamping sites we booked were too wet & muddy. So having the house as an option was appreciated since neither of us wanted to cancel our stay. The meat & cheese tray had a nice variety of delicious cheeses, however only 1 type of meat and not much of it compared to the amount of cheese provided. Also bread/crackers in addition to the pretzels already on the tray would have been nice too. The brioche and brie was our favorite, especially with the jam on top. Breakfast in the tasting room was yummy too. It featured a few "non-typical" of the Midwest breakfast food items, which was nice. We are already talking about visiting in 2019 and making it an annual couple's trip. Thanks! read more

An experience that is hard to describe and only one can truly feel the power of peace in the nature when you stay at the vineyard. The Glamping (glamours camping) experience was beyond words. You make your arrangements with the owner Barb and she also will greet you, provide excellent tips throughout wine tasting and show you the land. The Glamping tents host a bed, furniture inside and outside the tent, a warm electric blanket and a heater. The tents zip open and close and offer a great view of the vines. Throughout your stay you can order food through barb and it's beyond amazing. The estate has a variety of cute areas to sit and have a glass of wine while enjoying the scenic view. Glamping is an experience that needs to be reserved in advance and is well worth every minute! read more

I'd have to say the customer service by Barb is some of the worst I have ever experienced. I live in Texas and am a part time wedding planner while teaching at the collegiate level. My brother got married at the estates a couple weeks ago, which is why I was in town. The venue is beautiful, a great place for a wedding, but the customer service is why I am writing this review. First, the wedding changed dates twice due to Barb over booking the other dates with out acknowledgement. The rehearsal dinner was in the morning at 11 and wedding at 530. We showed up at 11 am and instead of greeting us, Barb started yelling at us for breaking rules because we had coolers in the back of one vehicle. I explained that we had lunches for all the wedding party and food for the day while getting ready for wedding. We also told her we had coolers for the party bus (that was picking us up from venue). We were being honest and she just glared like we were lying. We had no ambition to drink and we already bought a lot of alcohol from Barb for the wedding that we planned on getting into if anyone had any desire to drink before the festivities began (which we did open a couple bottles early). We knew the rules and were obeying, there was no need for attitude. We rented the suite in her house for the day for the bridal party to get ready. The room has not been cleaned since the last tenants. There were two bottle of champagne open and big bottle of OJ in fridge with half opened bottles of wine on the counter in kitchen of suite. We didn't care about the mess, we were overfilled with joy for the day. My issue is the next day Barb yelled at the bride and groom for the alcohol in the suite, that was left from past tenants and apparently doesn't clean rooms after each person leaves. I'm sure there is a health code issue connected to that. During set up wedding (sound system), there was no power. This is an hour before the ceremony begins and can't find anyone for assistance. Finally found barb watching TV in her house, instead of providing any assistance right before the ceremony. The only time we may need her and she is no where to be found. The ceremony was beautiful and everything worked great. The reception was also great we catered in but to be honest the issue during the reception came from Barb and her staff she hired. Half way through the reception, the bar staff told people (me included) that it is only cash bar now. The party went through the bottle of wines that were purchased quickly, but had full keg left. Instead of telling anyone about the Keg, the staff told everyone that it was cash bar when ordered wine. Unfortunately the keg was wasted and the crowd started to leave. The next day we went and cleaned and pay what ever was left. As we sat there Barb offred us some of the keg beer that was left over. Seriously? The staff told people last night it was cash bar only and all free was gone. After that Barb made a point multiple times to make sure we tip her and the other workers. Hands down the worst costumer service I have experienced while being part of weddings. Beautiful venue, terrible customer service! read more

While the grounds at Slattery are very beautiful I would not recommend it for a wedding and stick to smaller events. Barb was not very welcoming or helpful as the owner, she was not there for most of the setup when there were questions about the tables and chairs they provided. They also decided to mow after we had set out all the decorations in the yard. For a wedding of 80 people they only had 7 round tables so instead of squeezing everyone together the bride had to figure out how to get more tables on her own. They also only provided one bartender, who was very good at her job, but it would have been nice for two bartenders at least for the beginning so the line wouldn't be so long. The wedding ceremony was outside and while the bride and groom were exchanging their vows two side by sides were driving by right next to the ceremony space, one was a guest doing a wine tasting and the other was their own staff. The venue was rented until 11pm and around 10:20 while we were outside dancing we were told we needed to turn the music down because they had booked out two of their glamping tents to people who were not part of the wedding. They said they didn't want negative reviews in case the people couldn't sleep. It seems like the obvious answer is don't rent out the tents during events when there is a contract that the venue is rented until 11. Overall a beautiful space but would not recommend it for a wedding. read more

This was our first time ever "glamping", but our daughter assured us we would enjoy it. My daughter found Slattery Vintage Estates on Pinterest which gave it high marks as a must stay in Nebraska. What a nice surprise, Vineyards in Nebraska! One of the owners, Barb, was so sweet and hospitable in giving us information about the area and their place. We stayed in the Duck Inn and it was such a quaint, cute place! With lights around the patio, chairs and wine we managed to have such a nice family stay here. We plan to come back soon and spend some more time. This would be an awesome venue for weddings, birthdays or reunions. Plus awesome customer service. Must stay here! read more

SVE was a beautiful, quaint escape! Barb was a great host and very accommodating to anything we needed! We enjoyed wine tasting with her and the breakfast she made us in the morning! The ground at SVE are beautiful and the camping is so easy! We will definitely be going back with more friends. read more

This seemed like a nice place. But they had some dumb rules. Like for 1, during events they don't do wine tastings apparently. But you'd never know that from their website. I repeat. They had no tastings going on in their tasting room. And 2, on a Saturday night they opt to not serve any cheese. This is a vineyard that does not have cheese. Think about that. We had brought our own, and after buying their pizza, cupcakes, and house wine... Essentially every course offered we were asked to put the cheese we brought away. No cheese? Goodbye. read more

I had my bridal shower in the new hall they have built and it was absolutely beautiful, whether you use the indoors or the patio surrounding the hall. The owners are wonderful, accommodating and there to make your day special. Guests who rent space have access to a full size commercial kitchen and bar. It's a beautiful place to hang out and guests are very impressed with this hidden gem. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Delicious pizzas, especially liked the hamburger and jalapeño pizza. They offer carry out, so take a moment to explore the grounds and take home a pizza. read more

The tent we had was full of holes with a tarp cover over the top to keep the rain and bugs out. The front zipper was broken and not usable and it appeared to have been that way for a long time. The inside walls of the tent had mold and stains from stuff spilled on it. They really need to replace the tents at this place! When we told the owner she just said that's the way it is. Don't recommend staying at this place, read more

SVE is a beautiful venue and it just keeps getting better year by year. Great selection of both Nebraska and other wines at all price points. The food is prepared by their in house Chef Sarah. Wood fired pizzas, cheese and often a special. The bungalows are clean and very charming. Bungalows all furnished with real beds and antique furniture. I have been to several events in the hall and it is a great party or wedding site read more

My husband and I visited Slattery's this evening. The service was very poor from the minute we first entered and ordered a bottle of wine at the inside bar until the time we left. We ordered food and waited over an hour for our meals. We were also told certain menu selections were not available but noticed that the tables around us ordered the items. We we asked is we would receive our food before the closing time the owner was rude and unapologic. Another couple was with us and also agreed about the poor service. We will not return. read more
